Tinder : After years of downloading and deleting and no success (little to no matches) any advice is greatly appreciated, I live in a city with 4 uni’s so surely I’m doing something wrong?

Write about other activities other than sport in your bio,also the last picture doesn’t work to your advantage,the angle is bad and it makes you look smaller
I think photo 3 looks interesting and might catch peoples attention when they are swiping. Maybe make that your profile pic
Say « i work as a waiter so i can bring alot to the table then forget about you for 30 minutes while you frantically look around for some one to refill your water »
Add your job info and everything. Tinder rewards you for taking use of all their features
I’d keep photos 1,2,3 & 5. Make photo 3 your profile picture, it’s the best of the lot. It’s good quality, if has fire, plus you look handsome in it.
A pic is worth a thousand words and your first one says it all! Tinder is mindless and I usually go with a swipe based on the first pic if I’m mass swiping. If I have more time, I skim through photos and usually read the about section.
Male here so not sure what my advice is worth.
I’ve had tinder on & off for 4 years or so and never bothered to pay for any features. In those 4 years, I’ve had some short term things as well as 2 relationships (2.5 years & 5 months).
My initial interaction with Tinder was just swipe!!!! If you end up matching, at least you have the ability to initiate conversation. If you get cold feet, don’t initiate (I’ve got an unknown/excessive amount of matches I never reached out to). Over the years I’ve gotten more selective. If there’s nothing in the bio but you like the looks, still swipe! I recently had a few dates with someone whose only descriptions was the different states she’d lived in over the years. Things didn’t work out in the end, but she was one of the more interesting people I’ve met through the app!
I’ve never been one to shy away from group pics with females because everyone has friends! And I know I wouldn’t want to match with someone who was insecure with me having female friends. With that being said, maybe turn off smart photos and select a solo pic of yourself if you’re worried about it.
I recently reworked my profile, but beforehand it was very generic. I had a couple interests listed and mentioned I was happy with hanging around the house or going out. The rework has a much more in-depth description as my mindset in life has changed from when I started using the app lol. I think the initial profile was mostly selfies. The rework is also all selfies on travel or just in random unknown locations, with the exception of 1 with a guy friend being goofy and 1 of my dog.
10/10 love your intro line! Definitely matches with the humor/energy level that shows through in some for your photos.
Tbh pics 2,3,6, & 7 are the only one’s I’d keep. Big group photos are hard to sift through for girls taking minimal time to look at a dude’s profile (unless it’s just really interesting to them). You could argue if they’re not interested then they won’t be taking time to look anyway, sure. But the fact of the matter is that tinder is a shallow way of looking at people. The goal is to get a first date to judge character and personality. To do that you need good pics haha.
Some people are saying don’t include sports so much, choose one or the other of the last two points. Besides that it’s pretty good.
Including height is a pretty general rule for guys even though it can be tough to put on there. You’re shorter than most but that’s ok, if you’re down for taller girls, let them know that. If you’re not, let them know that too. It seems like you’ve got some humor so you have to leverage that as much as possible. Just don’t overdo it. If you’re witty, they’ll notice. If you’re not confident with the other aspects though, they’ll notice that too.
Also turn off smart photos. You really need to tell a story or attempt to tell a story with yourself. Obvy you’ve got friends and like to run and hang with the gang. A couple of group shots is fine but you’ve got to establish which one from the group you are.
If you’ve got more questions, please post them in the comments! It’s always great to get other people’s takes on profiles to make it the best you can.
What are my credentials for you to listen to these comments: I made some major changes to my own and have noticeably more matches (have been on the app for years and who knew what an upgrade to the profile could actually do).
Get rid of all the group pictures
“Marathons in the sack”…
Your pics are pretty average and forgettable. Maybe take some more outdoors pics to make your collection more interesting? A picture on top of a mountain summit or doing an extreme sport like mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, etc.. I’m from Colorado and your profile doesn’t look very sporty/active to me. Of course, I’m used to very sporty/active people out here lol. I think that pics 2-6 are good. Just work on the pics and you’ll find someone 🙂
I agree with others’ comments. Get rid of the group pictures, especially the ones with girls in (if you are heterosexual and looking for girls). I never swipe right on a man who has other women in the picture.
You look really young, which will be great when you’re 50, but not so good now.
Try having some pictures where you’re doing something less physical, guys who are really fit can be intimidating (unless you’re looking for a woman who can match you on the track, in which case good luck with that).
But you’re smiling, which is great! So many men don’t, so keep on smiling, you will stand out that way.
I’m going to be brutally honest here…
– Get rid of some of the group photos and post some selfies in good lighting
– You’re a 6, at best, on looks alone, so that’s dragging your success down
– Your profile info reads like you aren’t ambitious and don’t have goals (women tend to like men with goals and ambition)
– What’s your degree going to be in? Because it sounds made up….so change the way that’s worded
– Your head looks kind of big for your body; take-up weightlifting to build more body mass
Try to upgrade for one month and see how things will work
I wouldn’t get rid of all of the group pictures — showing you have friends is a plus. I would get rid of 6 and 8.
Pic 6 looks like your friend and his girlfriend invited their two single friends hoping they’d hit it off and she’s not as into you as you are into her.
Pic 8 looks like your a third wheel on someone else’s fun Halloween date.
It might be just me, but too many group pics quickly takes the focus off you.
Also, delete all pics older than 1-2 years, alot can happen.
Delete 2-6.
I would say, lose the quote and add a bit more details about yourself
Turn off smart photos and arrange them. Also, Am I the only one that thinks photo 1 looks unflattering ? Mans looks so much better in the others. Also the picture with the two women and man in red makes you look very small.
You’re trying to hard. Couple pics and a simple funny bio.
Shorten the bio
